So what do you make yourself after you get back from your sweaty afternoon workout? A smoothie of course!!! What could be more refreshing?!?! This smoothie recipe I came up with about a week ago has all the right ingredients to make sure you are fueling your muscles after winding down from your workout. After trying this recipe you will not want to go back to your original smoothie because this one is so much more creamy then any other you could imagine, the secret ingredient.......cottage cheese, that's right you read me right, cottage cheese! For me cottage cheese is something that is not on my favorite "foods" list but I was needing to eat it because of the extra protein content, after eating it plain a few times I had this brilliant idea, why not put it in a smoothie just like you would yogurt? There both dairy products right, so why not? After pouring it into my cup I a little hesitantly gave it a try, to my surprise it was so creamy, it almost tasted like a frosty and no I'm not joking! Just make sure to blend it well so you don't get those cottage type chunks:-) Enjoy!

Mmm, that looks SO good! I would never have thought to put cottage cheese in a smoothie... I happen to like cottage cheese, so maybe I would like this even more than you. :-) This would be a great breakfast for someone like me who needs a lot of protein!
Sweaty workout? This just happens to NOT be in my vocabulary these days. However, I always appreciate a good smoothie. Great idea for the cottage cheese! (Great picture!...again!)
We are so glad you all want to try this delicious smoothie, you won't be disappointed!
